Review

"Marilu is my mentor. Her philosophies about health changed my life as well as my figure." -- Fran Drescher"Nobody does health better."-- John Travolta"Marilu--you have done the world a tremendous service."-- Rosie O'Donnell"If changing your body and looking great are qualifiers, then Marilu is definitely qualified to write this book."-- Tony Danza"Marilu is the healthiest person I know ... she makes me sick!"-- Carol Burnett"The best-organized and best-written book of its kind, "-- Peter Bogdanovich"Marilu, your program is fantastic. Five weeks ago my choles-terol was way too high, but since starting the program my cho-lesterol level has dropped 70 points. My doctor called to say my numbers look great now, and now my husband and mother--in-law are on the plan too. Thanks for your great ideas."-- Beth Silverman, Augora Hills, CA"My family has a history of autoimmune diseases--lupus, arthritis, as well as heart disease. I too was headed in the same direction with my doctors prescribing some heavy-duty drugs with scary side effects. The Total Health Makeover has given me control over my own body and that feels great. (I never thought I'd be eating things like kale and soybeans and actually enjoying them!) Your program has also helped me with my breast pain (I have fibrocystic breasts and had extreme burning and pain with my periods), but the very first month on your program the pain vanished and hasn't returned. It is such a noticeable improvement."-- Ali Bouvier, Clark, NJ"My mother and I would like to thank you for opening our eyes to healthy eating. My mom has lost 35 lbs. in two months and feels great. I'm a quadriplegic and losing weight is difficult, but by eating right I've lost 25lbs. and am feeling healthy again. Thank you for changing my life."-- William Balles, Carpinteria, CA "I am 27 years old and 5 months pregnant with my second child. I bought your first book about a month ago and am well on my way to making the 10 steps a part of my life. I am espe-cially interested in becoming dairy-free. My sister was very sick with chronic diarrhea for two years, undergoing numerous medical tests with no results. Then she went dairy-free and within three days the diarrhea stopped. She soon became preg-nant and as a dairy-free mom she gave birth to a 9 lb. 6 oz. baby boy. I can't wait to be a dairy-free mom too."-- Andrea Bouvier-Thieneman, Louisville, KY"For years I have suffered from sinus problems, primarily con-gestion and headaches. After reading The Total Health Makeover, I decided to give up dairy products completely. In the last eight months, I've had two sinus headaches and virtually no conges-tion, I've never felt so good!"-- Lori Hazenstab, Wilmington, DE"Your plan changed our lives. After following your plan my wife lost 25 lbs., became a full-time mom, volunteers at our sons' schools, teaches craft classes, and has a social life. On top of all of this Laura got pregnant last September. We had wanted to conceive a child two years ago, but Laura had physical chal-lenges that made it difficult. I truly believe that her losing the weight and changing her lifestyle contributed to our finally conceiving our third child."-- Leonard Hanna, Vancouver, WA "After picking up your book at the library, I have given up caffeine and dairy and can't believe how good my skin looks. I've been paying the top dermatologist in our state and he wasn't even able to get resultslike this. I noticed an improvement in only two weeks time."-- Sue Amos, Dedham, MA"Thanks to food combining I can finally finish a meal without getting nauseous, and since giving up dairy I no longer have to pay all that money for lactose enzymes (since I'm lactose intol-erant). All in all, I feel great."-- Susan Hiland, Nashville, TN"I have been overweight all my life and at 290 lbs. I was deter-mined to make a lifestyle change. I started reading your books and knew this was the way for me--it just made sense chemi-cally, emotionally, and physically. The first step I tried was giv-ing up dairy. Wow! I lost 15 lbs. without even blinking and just feel so much better. I was also successful in taking my one-year -old son off dairy, and since he has been dairy-free we haven't had any wheezing problems like we had in the past. Thank you for sharing your treasured information in a way that people can relate to."-- Janet Townley, Brookfield, CT"Since starting your program I have taken off 27 lbs. in three months, my daughter is eating healthier, and my boyfriend is finding relief from migraine headaches. What a difference your book has made."-- Susan Martin, Alexandria, VA

An interesting way to rethink what you eat to feel and look better. It was actually a change in eating habits that I was able to stick with. Thought I would miss eating dairy products like eggs and cheese, but I really don't. Since switching to eating this way my seasonal allergies didn't bother me at all. My skin cleared up. My digestive system felt more balanced. I didn't feel hungry or feel like I was missing anything. The harder part was reducing and eliminating sugar. Some of the safer and healthier sugar substitutes she suggests using are rather expensive for my budget. This way of eating doesn't really require anything unusual or expensive to have to eat. Read through the whole book. It really is worth the information that she gives. I can't afford organic products, but by combining the foods I can afford to her method, I am still able to enjoy the benefits.

Love her, love her books and workout DVDs. The info she gives makes all the sense in the world and she makes many suggestions on how to your improve diet and lifestyle. Her plan is very doable and in the book she shares her own struggles with weight and past diet experiences. It's like talking to a good friend, she even gives you a few beauty tips. I am really happy with these purchases and will try my best to follow her advice to improve my health and my family's.

I think this book has a lot of information and she shares it all with you in a way that you can connect. Based on reading this book I have stopped eating dairy. Something I never thought I could or would do but she has convinced me that diary is not my friend. I already avoid cow's milk so it was easy to give up the yogurt and cheese. I now buy rice cheese which is good enough. I intend on making additional changes to my eating based on her recommendations. Great Book, happy I bought it and will most likely buy another one of her books.

I admit it, I bought this book because I like Marilu Henner and saw her on tons of talk shows plugging away--I believe the American public has an obligation to support funny, perky, way-too-enthusiastic-about-everything celebs like her who have turned the once-lowly status of "talk-show-guest" into an art form. Plus, I was looking to change my diet and drop a few pounds, so I decided to give it a try (anything had to be better and easier to follow than _The Zone_). To my absolute surprise, it was not only entertaining reading, but it seemed to make sense. So I tried a few (not all--it will be a while before I can give up all sugar) of her suggestions--namely, ditching meat (not too hard) and dairy products (really hard--adios, butter, cheese, sour cream, ice cream. yogurt, etc.)--and suddenly I was losing weight. I had lost a few pounds before I read the book, but had hit some sort of plateau where it seemed impossible to drop any lower (even though I was exercising and watching my diet). For lack of a better phrase, it seems like Marilu's ideas sort of "jump-started" my metabolism again. I'm dropping weight gradually and safely, I always have the energy for daily exercise (even after work), it seems like a layer of fat has disappeared off my face, and my skin looks and feels pretty darn good. So if you're debating whether or not to get this book, I have to say go ahead and do it--it's not the most scientific tome in the world, but it seems to work, and I have to give it big credit just for that. Plus, rice milk--once you track it down in the nether regions of Kroger--isn't THAT bad, for heaven's sake (three words: smoothies, smoothies, and smoothies).

This book is excellent!! A real eye opener about how we eat, and how mixing protein with fruit, or starchy foods with fruit can mess up the digestion process. Highly recommend reading this very informative book!!!!!

Believe me, I've read a million health/diet/nutrition books, and this is one of my favorites. It kind of combines some elements of macrobiotics and a vegan diet. However, you don't have to go cold turkey. There are three levels to each of the ten steps, and she helps you gradually reach the point where you want to be. It's not all-or-nothing, and she peppers it with humor and personal stories. It is well-written and researched.

It really is a great book, and if you follow just a few of the 10 steps you will see a huge difference in your body and health. Definately worth the money, and then some!!
